The Lord of Glory! Who is He?

Verse 1

The Lord of Glory! Who is He?
Who is the King of Glory?
Only the Son of God can be
The Christ, the King of Glory:

Consider all His wounds, and see
How Jesus' death upon the tree
Proclaims Him King of Glory.

Verse 2

Above all heavens, at God's right hand,
Now sits the King of Glory;
The angels, by His favour, stand
Before the throne of Glory;

Swiftly they fly at His command
To guard His own of every land,
To keep the heirs of glory.

Verse 3

Death and the grave confess the Lamb
To be the King of Glory;
The powers of darkness dread His Name,
Creation shows His glory.

He said: "E'er Abram was, I am;"
Jesus is evermore the same,
The Almighty King of Glory.

Verse 4

Thrice happy who in Him believe,
They soon will share His glory;
Born of His Spirit, they receive;
His Sacred pledge of glory;

Taught by His Cross, for sin they grieve,
He calls them brethren, and they cleave
To Him, their hope of glory.
